wjvh Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Goes in on Friday. Been having some issues with the brakes for a while but not been using the Alphie much and it was still stopping so only just got around to looking … and my oh my! The inside surfaces of both rear discs were all chewed up and blistered! Never seen anything like it. Outside surfaces were ok. I guess poor quality parts AND salt damage with previous owner. So let that be a warning, clean regularly including underneath during salting season. Also L rear shock was leaking oil and L rear tyre dangerously worn out on inside edge, so new tyre ordered alongside MOT and I fitted a new shock along with new pads and discs, all the parts only about £150. Not too bad at all! Fingers crossed for Friday … so far the Alphie has proven pretty cheap to run in year 1. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjvh Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Failed! But nowt major (parking brake too slack, one small piece of corroded brake pipe, both rear license plates bulbs, and the tyre I already knew about). Will get it passed next week. That ain’t too bad for a big ol’ rig like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
